Dot Plate Memory Games App

Hi everyone,

I am loving MIT App Inventor.  I have now created my third app and am excited to share the details with you.



Dot Plate Memory Games is an app that will help boost your students’ memory and practice subitizing at the same time. Memory games can help improve students’ concentration, boost brain functionality, train visual memory, increase short-term memory, help keep focus and increase attention.  Subitizing is being able to instantly recognize how many dots there are in a group.  Subitizing helps students form mental pictures of numbers and realize that a number can be represented in many ways. This is a perfect app for your students to “warm up” their brain before your math lessons or during math centres. 


How it works:
There are 9 games in total.  Games 1, 2, and 3 focus only on four numbers at one time (easy level).  Games 4 and 5 focus on six numbers at one time (medium level).  Games 6, 7, 8 and 9 focus on eight numbers at one time (hard level). Each time you reset the game the dot plates will randomly change spots.



Game 1 – Dot Plates with numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 (2x4 Grid)
This game includes 4 dot plate pictures for a total of 8 cards to flip over.





Game 2 – Dot Plates with numbers  5, 6, 7, 8 (2x4 Grid)
This game includes 4 dot plate pictures for a total of 8 cards to flip over.

Game 3 – Dot Plates with numbers 7, 8, 9, 10 (2x4 Grid)
This game includes 4 dot plate pictures for a total of 8 cards to flip over.

Game 4 – Dot Plates with numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (3x4 Grid)
This game includes 6 dot plate pictures for a total of 12 cards to flip over.





Game 5 – Dot Plates with numbers 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (3x4 Grid)
This game includes 6 dot plate pictures for a total of 12 cards to flip over.

Game 6 – Dot Plates with numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (4x4 Grid)
This game includes 8 dot plate pictures for a total of 16 cards to flip over.

Game 7 – Dot Plates with numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (4x4 Grid)
This game includes 8 dot plate pictures for a total of 16 cards to flip over.







Game 8 – Dot Plates with numbers 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5 (4x4 Grid)
This game includes 8 dot plate pictures for a total of 16 cards to flip over. There are different dot arrangements for the 2s, 3s, 4s and 5s.

Game 9 – Dot Plates with numbers 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10 (4x4 Grid)
This game includes 8 dot plate pictures for a total of 16 cards to flip over. There are different dot arrangements for the 6s, 7s and 10s.

The game contains no ads.

Plant Journal Revisted with a New Addition Bean Greenhouse Activity

Image
Hello,  I cannot believe I uploaded my plant journal in 2012!!!  I have been using this plant journal with my students for 12 years!!! My students still get excited when they get their journal and investigate their plant growth.   For the past two years I have started the Bean Greenhouses where my students put a few beans in wet cotton balls, place them in a ziploc and we put them on the window and watch them grow.  This year I have created a quick journal for my students to observe their observations.  I always give 3 beans to each student because the ziploc is rather small for any more.  This year my students will be able to get their Bean Greenhouse journal, put down what day it is of growing and then colour in what stage they see their beans. They can also colour in the weather - sunny, partly sunny or cloudy.     Every year I do a living things unit and plant a radish seed with my students.   However, I have never felt the kids have had a great plant journal to keep all their no

Blank Game Boards

Every year, no matter what grade level I am teaching, I end the year with the students making a game they can play at school and then take it home to play with their family.   And every year it seems I am scrambling to put the materials together for the students.   I have found the younger students really need something concrete they can use.   I came up with these pre-made template.   I made templates without spinners, with different types of spinners and with places for cards.   I have all the templates in a binder in clear plastic protectors and I get the students to pick which template they want the day before we do the activity so I can have the templates ready for the kids.   I also have pre-made squares with various game standards such as “Miss a turn” and Go back 2 spaces” the kids can cut out and glue on the squares they want.   There are also blank squares they can print on to customize their game.   I also give the students a template to help with the writing of their direc

Teacher Week 2013 Classroom Management

Hi everyone,  I have to say, I'm really enjoying this Teacher Week 2013. It's my first time participating in something like this.  Now on to classroom management. All schools in the Halifax Regional School Board uses Positive Effective Behaviour Supports (PEBS).  This is a school-wide system of support that includes proactive strategies for defining, teaching and supporting appropriate student behaviours.  It looks at what our students can do and are doing rather than what they shouldn't do and how we as adults interact with them.  Each student receives a PEBS matrix (a gird) to take home and review with their parents and a PEBS matrix is up in every classroom and teachers routinely refer to the PEBS matrix. We also use Gems with the whole school.  Gems are awarded to students who demonstrate positive behaviours as outlined in the PEBS matrix.  Each class has their own jar into which students deposit gems as they receive them.  Each class decides on a class goal
